GlobalWarming and Alternative Energy Domains

[nstalk]

Hello All,

I was recently told by one of the members here that some of my globalwarming names were too scary and no one would put money into names like that. The names he was referring to was GlobalwarmingDomain and GreenhouseDomains but I have many more much "scarier" than them.

I have names like GlobalwarmingDisaster, GlobalwarmingTax, WarmingDisaster,
WarmingWarning, and a lot of alternative energy domains.

My question is, does anyone else think think these names are scary? Does anyone here besides me invest in such names? I really haven't seen many posted in here and I'm just wondering how popular they are with others.

If you have any of this type names please post them, and I would love to hear any comments you may have on the present and future potential value of names in this area.......thanks

If you are a very large corporation you can clean up your act or you can "purchase co2 credits" and keep polluting, something is not right with that Imo

You need to keep purchasing the credits for your emissions, in the long term it does not make business sense. On the other hand "cleaning up your act" has positive PR value. You would need to be the worst of GW negationists to not consider moving forward and look into reducing your emissions.

Carbon credits not the answer

Most polluters don't give a damn about paying a little extra.

Lets put this on a human level. Lets assume we tax travelers for a clean air tax. If it cost some money for carbon taxes to pay to travel to a different country as you are considered to be polluting then many will not travel.

Will that cut greenhouse gases? No it won't, under a system like that, the lower income people will place ads in their local papers and simply sell their carbon credits to others who can afford and who do travel alot.

Same amount of pollution. The only difference is government gets more of everyones money and when a government agency is created to collect all these tax monies to pay for the carbon credits it ends up taking out more energy than it saves. Think about the offices, cars, computers, taxis all for the new carbon credit police. In the end we will loose resources. No that is not the answer.

The answer is fuel sources that can compete with fossil fuels that are renewable and non polluting.

Not to get off topic but did anyone hear the debates last night? The Democrats touched upon alternative energy (Wind, solar, green) I was encouraged by this.

I was encouraged also but the dems have been advocating a fight against GW for some time now while the gop hardly even recognize the problem. Huckabee and McCain are the only two gop contenders who offer a real fight plan, imho.

I agree we must have fuel sources that compete with fossil fuels but I also think we must put incentivies in place that will make the money hungry ceos turn to alternative energies. They won't do it without laws and regulations forcing them to and if we have a carbon trading plan such as the one talked about here that will offer a money saving incentive to them they will choose the most beneficially way.

Once a plan is in place it can be fine-tuned and perfected along the way to achieve the desired goal of an alternative energy industry. Its the only way we can get there imho.

Here is another example why thinking placing controls on big business never works, we had controls in place to reduce pollution in America before Bush took office. When gas hit $3.50 a gallon the government went away from the pollution controls and allowed refineries to start producing fuel with less stringent clean air standards.

When the economy really tanks we will, and the world will bend the pollution laws in order to keep the masses from suffering due to the shortages of these resources.

That is only one scenario that can and does hamper real progress to reduce pollution.


My only point about this and in my research I have found much truth in this is, when our economic structure starts showing real weakness, ( this is happening right now) then these feely good ideas start taking a back seat to reality.

Reality is resources will be used to keep our offices warm, our homes warm and our vehicles running down the freeways. The shortages of fuel will also push ahead developement in areas we are now saying developement cannot happen, such as oil exploration in the sensitive tundra areas of Alaska.

Great harm can be done by these actions including off shore oil exploration in Americas oceans.

Really, to reduce carbon we need a government that does not inflate our money supply and runs a responsible spending budget. The way it is now, we get economic boom and bust cycles.

When the boom is in place every industry is going full steam ahead, which by nature is polluting the world.

Then when the bust hits we find super high prices for natural resources and we the consumers pay the additional inflation prices this cycle creates, such as $5.00 a gallon for gasoline.


This is a reality and will more than anything else change behavior for Americans.

All my environment friendly domains have been doing really well, there is a lot of interest in this subject and is growing rapidly. My parked pages have also shown a high performance compared to other domains.

They do get good traffic, but the ppc are low.

also have the org.uk ...

I see you have this with sedo...have you gotten other clicks besides the $2 one? Do you have other globalwarming, green, or alternative energy names with sedo and if so how are they doing?

I appreciate your help as I have quite a few with parked and not doing so well there.

 

[Christopher Hunt]

not sure about exact per clicks $ (don't know how to find that history), had it up a couple months and has 5 clicks and $7 total - think the 2+ click was the highest

You may have already seen these sales...but it serves to show the interest in this new domain sector.

The solution is obvious.. Getting the right leaders and legislation in place is the tough part especially when money and greed are the main factors that influence political outcomes. Anyway, as we evolve environmental focus will be huge and domains in that sector shall certainly gain value. I recently picked up AirCare.info, I think the extension really goes well with the words. btw, some of the best epc revenue I have earned comes from these types of domains..

The real answer is innovation and competition so that the MARKET and consumers can decide what technology makes the most sense for them. Government can provide incentives (a.k.a. "handouts") to business and tax breaks (a.k.a. "pandering") to consumers all day long but unless it makes economic sense it will be a cold day in Haiti before many of the alternative energies become mainstream. Facts take time to come out ... all the money dumped down the drain on ethanol subsidies and now we are finally seeing what the REAL costs are to produce it ... more than politicians, farmers, and green-at-any-costers would like us to know.

However there are some real promising energy sources coming online due to innovation, new materials, decades of research, and dare we admit ... high fossil fuel energy prices. There is no one best energy source for every single locale. But as far as something catching on, geothermal sure looks good for the southwest and western US, as does of course solar. The cost of producing photovoltaic materials keeps dropping. Wind energy is finding its place. And the new generation of pebble bed reactors can help us out too. Get government bureaucracies, NIMBY and radical protesters, and misinformed consumers out of the way and we'll accelerate the building and implementation of many energy generation stations.

It is pretty exciting to see these all technologies taking shape but it is a l-o-n-g, s-l-o-w road. For us, holding some of these alternative energy names will take patience and deep pockets for renewal fees. Maybe the government can subsidize OUR alternative energy "investments". Any politicians care to pander to us entrepreneur domainers? Hey congressman, how 'bout ponying up a little green when GeothermalEnergy.us comes up for renewal?

The days of the taxpayer (i.e government) truly subsidizing ventures - without direct tangible impact - are long one.

Your geothermalenergy.us domain should be easily monetizable. I have about 10+ years with direct contact in the energy field and I am pretty sure you can create enough viral buzz to bring in say $0.02-0.03 per day in average revenue to make a nice profit on the annual reg fees!

I have a lot of parked green and alternative energy domains and I'm beginning to see more and more visits and clicks on them. The average click seems to pay a little better that .22 per click. I'm hopeful this will continue growing for a long time.

I agree it will take a lot more money than government subsidies to make the alternatiove energy sector big time but there is already a lot of private sector interest and investments going on right now. Gov subsidies do have an important place in some areas and they are working imho but it will be the private money that transforms us to the new clean energy economy.....this will happen and it won't take as long as many people think.

As the big money guys start showing a profit they will invest more and first thing you know there will be no stopping it. There is right now tens of billions$$ waiting on the sideline ready for investment....much of this would have gone into building new coal power plants and other dirty energy but investors are beginning to hold back funding on these because of new restrictions and pending laws that will make those type investments unprofitable. Everybody knows this is coming with the new adminstration next year. It will never again be business as usual in the energy sector.
